Fashion Meets Art Meets Unpeerable Talent

Many have tried this approach. Some have failed, some have accomplished with the task; but none of them ever did it so hugely, undeniably, utterly well. Not even them themselves, until now. Not, at least, at these levels.

Viktor&Rolf got us used to amazement, awe and reverence, throughout the seasons: how to forget when they wrote NOs all over the models' faces, or those huge 3-D writings standing out from their coats; how to forget thei protest-catwalk, all digital, and with one model only ( Shalom, in case you had forgotten ). But this goes far beyond anything they've ever achieved: surely Viktor&Rolf, with their latest collection, hit a whole new level of...well, of "this".
Since there seem to be no more words to describe their sheer genious work, i'll just leave you with a selection of the most magnificent pieces from the show.

Yay. It seems like the Fashion+Art blend found a new God. Or, two, to be precise :)

[ Straight out of a Fairytale.Disney's Snow White's evil stepmother anyone? ]

[ Back to the ancient: Samotracia's Nike is what comes straight to my mind. ]

[ Corsets and volumes reminding of France's Renaissance? ]

[ The sun irradiating light? ]

[ Cinderella, cinderella...looks like the mices came to see ya! ]

[ Again, ancient greece, some goddes statue? ]

[ unconvential bride? ]

[ BY FAR MY FAVOURiTE PiECE. even more impressive when seen on the walking model ]

PS: DiY post soon to come! :D stay tuned

Woha, Woha...What's going on with Balmain!?

As a person, I do have rules. Speaking of which, probably the most important one is Always Be Coherent. Always stick to your ideas. But I have to admit that i have one peculiarity: My sense of CRiTiCiSM goes far beyond any rules or restrictions and CANNOT be corrupted by anything. When I start criticising, i can't stop, i'm like an avalanche. And i start to spit poison. I DO realise i'm MEAN and Straight-To-The-Point but despite hating this, i smile to myself thinking that this will probably make my fortune. However, this excursus was made to be clear about what i'm going to say.
Main point here.
Balmain.
Balmain has been my one and only god for the past two seasons. And normally, you act in defence of your God whatever happens. But [ there is always a 'but' ]. My disappointment in seeing the new collection has fallen over me out of nowhere, and despite a first resolution to act cool but never bite the hand that feeds me, words came to my throat and spilled out against my own will. Before i could know it, i was spitting my poison on the new collection.
Hell. I hate myself for saying so, but this collection really came out WRONG! I like that Balmain always stays Balmain, but that was fine until it seriously had been so. Now it looks as though a moltitude of hungry rats had managed to enter the Balmain studio and ruined all the clothes. I don't like the way it looks. All those holes, all that khaki+black or brown. Nay.
All the same, i have found some pieces i liked.
Here is the pieces i LOATHED the most.
It makes the model look deformed! Too much leather for a SUMMER collection. And that golden irregular skirt!?
But here is the look i loved the most. The military coat looks stunning.
